One of the Spanish artists I like most is Joan Miró. He was born in Barcelona in 1893 and
worked first in a shop when he was seventeen. Unfortunately a year later he became
seriously ill, but after spending several months at home resting, decided to become an artist.
He admired the work of Cézanne and went to Paris where he met Picasso and other famous
artists. In fact, Miró lived in both countries for many years but stayed in France during the
three years of the Civil War1 because he did not want his family to be in danger.
Miró returned to Mallorca when the war was over and continued to work extremely hard,
producing paintings and huge sculptures2. The latter were made for cities all over the world.
If you want to find out about Miró, there are hundreds of examples of his work in the
Fundación Miró in Barcelona. It is worth a visit as it is so original.
